Tied at a buttoned collar, a 38-inch cord leaves the tips at mid-chest on an average build; a 42-inch cord drops lower and suits taller frames. The shortest piece in the catalog, the 29.5-inch bull head, sits high and works best on slim builds or open collars. Cord length is listed on every product page — check it before checking out.

Broad jowls, folded ears, the pushed-in muzzle — the features that make the breed instantly readable are all modeled in relief. The silver-tone finish pools darker in the recesses of those wrinkles, which keeps the face legible instead of flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDog motifs are scarce in western wear, which mostly cycles through longhorns, eagles and horseshoes. That scarcity is the appeal: nobody else at the barbecue will be wearing this slide, and every bulldog owner in the room will find you within minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe numbers\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSilvark\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSlide\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBulldog head in relief, dimensions not specified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMetal\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast alloy, silver-tone finish (base metal not stated by the supplier)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStone\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCord\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38 in (97 cm), material not specified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere it fits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a casual slide.
